How to Make Sour Cream Philly Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until combined.
  4. Beat in sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Pour batter over the graham cracker crust.
  6. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  9. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Once completely cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
